August 2nd Recap

Women Build for Saturday, August 2, began as a cool, cloudy day. Eleven volunteers including three team leaders and two VICs and our Executive Director, Debra along with a good number of volunteers for the traditional build began the day with a prayer. The women build's task for the day was to complete the sheet rocking (apparently everyone's favorite) of the Kahn home in preparation for the professional tapers scheduled for Monday.

Highlights of the day included the delivery of sheet rock to the traditional build, a visit from Assemblyman Marc Molinaro and friends, and the arrival of lunches sent by The Chocolate Moose and The Calvary Assembly of God church. Mr. Molinaro found that one of his staffers was a volunteer for the Women Build. We ate lunch on the Kahn's porch, protecting us from the rain which began to fall. Debra realized in the morning that the sheet rocking was coming along more slowly than was anticipated and asked the traditional build volunteers to help the Women finish the sheet rock - a good example of cooperation and Executive decision making!

Florence learned to use an electric drill and was so taken by it that she plans to ask for one for Christmas. She said she would teach her husband how to use it!
